Celebrating the Gift of Life

"God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well." - Voltaire

I am so thankful to God for giving me another year here in Kobe Japan, another wonderful year that is full of blessings.  I am also thankful for the gift of wonderful family and friends who remembered me on my birthday. The birthday wishes were just overwhelming.

I have learned many lessons in life in my forty something years, but this is the most important lesson that I've learned -- Count your blessings whether big or small,  and not our troubles or problems.  This way, God will continue to shower us with blessings :).

And here's my birthday gift for my self - Macbook Air :))).
